armyofone:
How are you doing

armyofone: No it is not normal but randy he-goat will say it is normal.
Don't hide cheating, just don't hide it from ya gal that way she got the option to do the same.
Nobody should have the monopoly of chopping alone.

elampiro: You and your allies here are the big liars. If you cannot show where I ever said De Gea should be sold, then you all are a bunch of shame. If you cannot show where I recommend where Hart should be bought, you all are chronic unrepentant liars.

afrodoc: Why are you lying on Welbeck?
We are saying the same thing.Torres record for Chelsea is at the same level as great strikers like Pizarro,Welbeck e.t.c
For a 50m striker he appears quite prolific

nateevs: I didn't see the game. Did Fernandinho and Yaya beast our midfield? Did Torres show yet no strengths? Anyone?

afrodoc: On second thoughts you actually have a valid point.....his record of 16 EPL goals in 89 matches is quite awesome, especially for a 50m pound striker. Its actually a bit worse than Danny Welbeck's record of 13 EPL goals in 71 matches for Manchester United, but then we all know how deadly a finisher Welbeck is

elampiro: Lie about what? You are the greatest liar on this thread. If only you could look at yourself in the mirror.

De Gea was awful with aerial balls last season. That was a fact.

elampiro: That was the case last season.

montelik: Also he inspires confidence in his defenders.

afrodoc: I was just agreeing with you that the last striker to have torres' record was in 2007/2008 His record like i said for this year is quite amazing......2 EPL goals in 26 matches/10 months. A bit steep for 50 million pounds but who are we to complain, after all its Roman's money

dayokanu: Cast Iron defence? The same City defence that has conceded as many as Swansea? Abi shey na Ajegunle City we dey talk?

The same City that was brutally molested by Bayern 3 weeks ago.

This same City defence was destroyed by Cardiff, Molested by Agbonlahor and friends. But lets throw a party that Torres profited from a goalkeeping brainfart

dayokanu: Nateevs or Debosky?

montelik: I really wish we could swap DDG for Hart as some on this thread have wanted.

afrodoc: You are right on point as usual. It was indeed 2007/2008 season when Claudio Pizarro had 2 goals from 21 league matches. Torres is in exalted company

denzel2009: With a performance like that, you can't criticize him.

Ibime: London and Paris no far. I saw him outside Andaz hotel. Maybe he came to smash some quick puny or meet some agent before heading back for the match. I no stop to ask am cos I dey rush somewhere. 100% it was him though.

elampiro: Now I can see you didn't watch the match. Had Rooney not headed that ball from the last angle, the ball would have gone out the next second.

elampiro: From what I saw Rooney clearly headed to the goal. The ball was too high and far to be a pass to Chicha and Evans.

You may as well call his Bicycle kick against Man City a fluke. Infact you could claim that his header that led to RVP's goal was a fluke, he wanted to head it back into play but the ball hit side of his net.

elampiro: The 18 box was choked and it was the 1st clever header when Stoke were protecting their lead. It was a ball going out of play and Rooney was very intelligent in his steps, jump and timing of the ball better than the Stoke tall defender. It was an extreme job. Many strikers won't have a control of that header. That led to the first goal.

*** if you want to watch lost of marker, go and watch AC Milan Vs Man United 2-3.

elampiro: There is nothing you people are showing now or any kind of goal or movement from Chicha and RVP that Rooney has not done. I see nothing special in following up a rebound or lost ones marker. That is what a striker is meant to do.

Go and watch Rooney's best goals on youtube.

elampiro: *** OMG!!! Did I hear that? Rooney's goal was a fluke? I have seen the goals more than six times in DSTV blitz. Rooney knew exactly what he was doing. He looked and directed his header perfectly well.

*** secondly Rooney took the best option in his 1st header. Heading it back into play meant he dashed it to Stoke City. Only a weak striker would have done that- manage to put it back into play any how.

*** I can see you hate Rooney so much that you said his goal was a fluke. Had it been been RVP or Kagawa or Chicha, it would mean they are genius. I give up on you.

elampiro: *** Rooney needed to try his luck from an impossible position. He did excellently well considering the effort and the number of Stoke defenders in the box.

*** Chicha was able to do that because the 18 box was discongested. Rooney was the only player who made a meaningful header or an attempt on Stoke goals when their 18 was congested with tall defenders. Again he scored Stoke from a corner kick. That is like climbing the tallest mountain on earth. You know the name.

elampiro: Even Hernadez has missed such chances in the past. Chances have probabilities. Whoever thought RVP will miss an empty net from one yard or Messi missed a clear chance yesterday he is known for scoring 9 out of 10.

To me Chicha's goal was cheap. The 18 box was not packed with defenders and the cross was perfect such that there little effort needed.

elampiro: Scoring from that position has a odd of 1/9. Even CR7 misses from there. Only on a miracle will anyone beat the Sole goalkeeper from there. Many strikers will only manage to head that ball back into play. Rooney did absolutely well.

elrony: The bolded is not entirely true...watch the direction chicha put on d ball...
I can recall some top strikers heading straight to d direction of d GK,or prolly off-target even at dat position!!

elampiro: All these are lame excuses. The games we could have won that Moyes made mistakes were West Brom and Southampton. Add 1hr to the Liverpool game to 150 minutes, hey would still pocket the 3 points.

elampiro: You are the one who lied. Where was the position of the ball when Chicha headed, then what was the position of the ball when Rooney headed? What was the position of the marker, how close was the obstruction? What was the position of the goalkeeper. What is the amount of stretching from the player who headed?

Put the above into consideration and you will see that even a pregnant woman will score Chicha's header once she was there. Meanwhile, Rooney's goal was the most difficult yesterday- the equalizer 2-2 .

elampiro: What! How can you compare Hernadez header from the middle of the goal with keeper already wrong footed to Rooney's tightest of angle header when he had to stretch to his limit after the ball beat a tall defender.

You just hate Rooney for nothing.

elampiro: I guess too Rooney was the reason Liverpool overpowered our midfield. Rooney left the field against Leverkusen and Southampton and we conceded in both.

A midfield that is bad is bad.

elampiro: There's no agenda. That's my observation for sometime now.

Rooney header was highly commendable. He did absolutely well to have been so well position and his nodding was on target from a tight angle. The keeper has all the credit for the save, and that effort led to RVP's goal.

afrodoc: RVP had a good game yesterday. He had the goal, the assist, the key passes e.t.c
Our forwards i,e RVP,Rooney and Hernandez are not the problems with this team.The problems have been central midfield and wing play and recently the defense has gotten really nervy.

Medium term i have few issues with the defense (young GK and defenders who would only get better) but if we can improve our midfield play and if our wingers regain just a lil form you would see the difference in the team

elrony: Are we in for another saga

Manchester United are not thought to have offered Wayne Rooney a new contract because they do not want to commit £70m on keeping him at Old Trafford. The 28-year-old striker is believed to be looking for an improvement on his current £250,000-a-week salary and wants a five-year contract.

elampiro: He should play more.

Moyes should change his tactics such that we shouldn't be having the Inzaghi style of a point man.

elampiro: I wanted to watch more matches before I pull this out. Let me just say it. RVP is becoming more and more too static. I think I will prefer a situation where everyone runs at the opponents defense as we had in Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez. It will make defenders paying against us get confused.

RVP stands and the opponent puts a man on him, he becomes a minus one for like 70 minutes. Against Sociedad, I saw Chicha running and trying to be involved despite that is not is natural style. RVP conserves too much energy for himself this season.

elampiro: We could have scored more goals against Southampton too. We were only unlucky. Remember too Rooney was absent against Shaktar and Liverpool and we couldn't win.

We also defeated Swansea, Crystal Palace, Sunderland. We could have beaten Southampton, and we drew Chelsea. The problems we have had till now is the midfield.

Every match our midfield had played well, our forward did well. Fellaini's first two matches were great and we won. Giggs did well against Sociedad.
